Curriculum
ACSSU077
Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways
ACSHE081
Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions
ACSIS231
With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations
ACSIS087
Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate
ACSIS086
Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks
ACSIS218
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
ACSIS090
Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data using digital technologies as appropriate
ACSIS093
Communicate ideas, explanations and processes using scientific representations in a variety of ways, including multi-modal texts
ST3-1WS-S
Plans and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions
ST3-2DP-T
Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
ST3-3DP-T
Defines problems, and designs, modifies and follows algorithms to develop solutions
ST3-6MW-S
Explains the effect of heat on the properties and behaviour of materials
ST3-11DI-T
Explains how digital systems represent data, connect together to form networks and transmit data
ST3-6MW-S
Explains the effect of heat on the properties and behaviour of materials
VCSSU073
Scientific understandings, discoveries and inventions are used to inform personal and community decisions and to solve problems that directly affect people's lives
VCSSU076
Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them
VCSIS082
With guidance, pose questions to clarify practical problems or inform a scientific investigation, and predict what the findings of an investigation might be based on previous experiences or general rules
VCSIS083
With guidance, plan appropriate investigation types to answer questions or solve problems and use equipment, technologies and materials safely, identifying potential risks
VCSIS084
Decide which variables should be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests and accurately observe, measure and record data
VCSIS085
Construct and use a range of representations, including tables and graphs, to record, represent and describe observations, patterns or relationships in data
VCSIS086
Compare data with predictions and use as evidence in developing explanations
VCSIS088
Communicate ideas and processes using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and to identify simple cause-and-effect relationships

Pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions
AC9S5I02
Plan and conduct repeatable investigations to answer questions, including, as appropriate, deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests; describing potential risks; planning for the safe use of equipment and materials; and identifying required permissions to conduct i
AC9S5I03
Use equipment to observe, measure and record data with reasonable precision, using digital tools as appropriate
